Tuesday StreetArt – 54

PORTO, PORTUGAL

On Afonso Martins Alho Street, one of Porto’s tiniest and narrowest roads, a stunning five-story mural by Spanish artist Liqen stands out. The artwork features a cat that harmonizes with the iconic blue and white azulejos typical of Portuguese architecture.

  1. Amazing! I wonder what the cat is holding in his mouth.

    1. Teresa says:

      I think the cat is carrying the weight of the building on its back and on the mouth is sort of also some part of the building or construction. I am not 100% sure what the true meaning is. Thanks for the interest.

    Ooh. I saw that cat when I was there. Quite difficult to photograph though.

    1. Teresa says:

      Yes, I know. It’s hard to catch all the details because there were so many people too.

    That’s such a coincidence Teresa, I have that exact same photo. I took it years ago when we had two nights in Porto. Beautiful isn’t it.

    1. Teresa says:

      Yup, you won’t miss it because so many people are looking up staring at it.
